The battle of the sexes goes into full throttle in this madcap Western take on THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. G,W. McLintock (John Wayne) is a successful, hard-drinking, rabble-rousing cattle baron whose town is named in his honour. When Katherine (Maureen O'Hara), his estranged wife, seeks a divorce, they immediately lock horns, turning the entire town on its ear in a hilarious romantic showdown. Besides his hot-tempered wife, McLintock also has to contend with his daughter (Stefanie Powers) and her suitors, a confrontation between homesteaders and cattlemen, and other hassles. (Note: The notorious "spanking" scene is a cinematic first.)

Sub-Ford Western farce borrowed from The Taming of the Shrew, with much fist-fighting and mud-splattering, and rather too much chat in between.
With what has to be the funniest film John Wayne has ever starred in. The chemistry and friendship with co-star Maureen O'Hara is there to be seen.
The only thing that lets this down is the poor quality of the dvd it was a real let down, you get better quality on VHS. A shame but still a great Wayne film.
